Hehe. Yeah the PrntScrn button. The image will be in the Screenshot folder in your Guild Wars install directory. Alternatively you can hit Paste afterwards in a graphics editing program

It's a bmp file ~3MB, so you might want to convert to jpeg and crop if necessary.

Irfanview is a handy little imaging program you should get

I think if you hold Alt when you click print screen the skill bar and all the other windows go away, leaving a perfect picture

Or is it Ctrl?

Why use infranview? Just open Paint in windows, click save as... and save as jpeg...a lot easier

And after you have the image reduced in size and hopefully cropped, host it on Guru or in an external website such as imageshack.us.
